vintage style wiper blades

Thanks for the reply and pictures. What you might do is get one 18" blade and put it on the lh side and see how that might go. You can also hand-place it on the rh side and see how that works, too.

On some later-model vehicles, they have one long blade on the lh side and a shorter blade on the rh side, fwiw.

On some vehicles, with the OEM-production-correct wiper blades, the tip end of the lh blade will actually contact the molding on the lh A-pillar during operation, especially on the top speed level. Nothing to do about that, either. Some just "kiss" (or get close enough for the A-pillar molding to cringe a bit) as a normal situation, by observation. 2nd Gen GM F-bodies were that way

Take care,
CBODY67.

I got an 18 inch blade to try. It does provide better coverage and nothing in the way. Looking at it, it turns out it looks like one of those suspect Trico Classic with the sparkly coating although there was no paperwork in the package. It's definitely taller and barely clears the hood. Also the rubber is oddly only 17.5 inches with the hole for the pin offset a half inch. That would actually be beneficial in the right side. If I could find an 18 inch version of the OER ME7601 that I have on there now I would try that but not comfortable with this particular product.
